Does HK07 discriminate against its own kind?

  After Shi Ke hung up the phone, he smiled and said to Mu Shuang beside him: "Mu Shuang, a representative of Aiguo Zhe Company invited us to lunch!"

  Mu Shuang's face was calm and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking. "Shi Lei, the strength of Aiguo Company is somewhat too weak compared to Leica and Kodak!"

  William, standing beside her, said in a stiff Shaku language: "Miss Mu is right! In the camera industry, Patriot is just a toddler who has just learned to walk, and it's not even a match for our Leica company!"

  Shi Ke, Ling Yu Mo and Mu Shuang all looked at William in surprise, none of them had expected that William could speak Xia Guo Yu!

  Fortunately, they just didn't use Xiang language and reveal any secrets. Otherwise, that would have exposed their trump card!

  "William, I didn't expect you to speak Xia Guoyu!" Shi Lei glanced at this Italian, who was also a hypocrite, clearly able to speak Xia Guoyu but had never spoken it before.

  William was not embarrassed at all, and calmly said: "I once took a course in Xia Guoyu at university, I can understand some of it. Shi Lei, are you preparing to negotiate with Aiguo Company? I don't know if I can participate?"

  His request is somewhat impolite!

  Shi Ke was about to refuse, but Mu Shuang preempted him by saying: "Mr. Ludwig, since you're participating first, let's participate together!"

  "Huh?" Shi Ke turned his head, looking at Mu Shuang with a questioning gaze.

  Mu Shuang nodded, with a confident look on her face, causing Shi Lei to involuntarily trust her.

  In the lobby of Cuihu Hotel, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, robust build, looking over thirty years old, in his prime, was looking around. Next to him stood an old and a young man, both wearing glasses. The older one looked like he was over fifty years old, while the younger one was only in his early twenties.

  When Shi Ke and the other two people, along with William's two men, walked out of the elevator together, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes only glanced at them before continuing to look towards the entrance.

  Shi Kei took one glance and figured out that these three guys were representatives of Aiguo Corporation.

  "Brother Zhong?" Shi Ke called out with a hint of a smile, probing.

  A robust man in his thirties with thick eyebrows and big eyes, it was none other than Zhong Muyuan!

  Zhong Mu Yu's big eyes stared at Shi Lei with an incredulous gaze, hesitating: "Shi Lei, old brother?"

  "Hello, Uncle Zhong!" Shi Lei stretched out his right hand, indicating that they should shake hands.

  Zhong Mu Yuan said with a hearty smile: "Shi Ke, my young brother, I really didn't expect you to be so young! You're absolutely amazing! Come on, let's go eat first and then talk about that smile detection program!" Zhong Mu Yuan clapped his hands together, looking eager.

  "Wait a minute, Brother Zhong. Let me introduce you!" Shi Lei stopped Zhong Muyuan and introduced the people around him one by one to Zhong Muyuan.

  Zhong Mu-yuan looked at William and Konrad with tension, he didn't expect that these two foreigners actually came from the famous Leica company!

  Leica cameras are a legend and an honor in the world of photography!

  "Good day, Mr. Ludwig, Mr. Konrad!" Zhong Muyuan said in Xia language.

  William spoke up, also in Xia Guoyu: "Hello, Mr. Zhong!" After that, William translated for Konrad in German.

  "Mr. Zhong, I heard that your company, Ai Guo, is also interested in smile detection? Would you mind if we have dinner together with Shi Lei?" William asked directly, without any sense of shame or embarrassment about freeloading.

  Zhong Mu Yuan actually wanted to say that he was very displeased, extremely displeased. However, as a person in the business world, he had no choice but to put on a smiling face and invite: "Being able to have lunch with colleagues from Lai Ka Company is absolutely a delightful thing!"

  William smiled and said, "It's also a great pleasure to receive an invitation from the Patriots' company!"

  Three people, entered the patriot company's designated private room, divided into three groups, Shi Ke and two beauties sat together, Leka company's two people sat together, patriot company's three people sat together.

  The table was already filled with all sorts of dishes, and there were also two bottles of high-proof Wuliangye. Zhong Muyuan first spoke up and said: "Mr. Ludwig, I've always heard that men from your country have a good capacity for liquor, I wonder how's yours?"

  Zhong Mu-yuan seems like a roughneck, but that's not the case! Otherwise, how could he have become the executive vice president of Aiguo Company? And how would he own 17% of Aiguo Company's shares? This sentence, on the surface, appears to be praising the men of Yizhi Country, but in reality, it is a trap set for William. The men of Yizhi Country are known for their good drinking capacity; if William responds that he doesn't have a good drinking capacity, wouldn't that be admitting that he's not a man?

  Mu Shuang and Ling Yu Mo's eyes revealed a hint of amusement, Shi Ke remained silent, he knew his own alcohol tolerance very well!

  That highly numbing liquor, just one small mouthful and Shi Ke would be under the table!

  William took a look at the high number of Wuliangye and was slightly surprised, but his drinking capacity was actually not bad, so he said: "Mr. Zhong, you're right, men from our country have never had a bad drink!"

  "Ah, that's just great, Mr. Ludwig! Let's have a good drink today! Waiter, bring us wine!"

  The waiter standing by quickly opened two bottles of high-proof Wuliangye and poured a full cup for Zhong Muyuan and Ludwig respectively.

  William glanced at Shi Lei outside the battlefield and said with a turn of his eyes, "Shi Lei, you just said your alcohol tolerance is excellent, why don't we have a competition now?"

  Shi Ke shook his head repeatedly, "William, I like your country's will, Munich beer, rather than the high-proof white wine of our country. You guys drink it yourself!"

  Zhong Muyuan chimed in on one side, "Mr. Ludwig, don't look for help, let's have a one-on-one!" As he spoke, Zhong Muyuan turned to the young man beside him and said, "Geng Jin, you chat with Mr. Conrad, after all, you're both technical personnel in the camera industry, try to learn some of Leica's advanced technology!" After finishing speaking, Zhong Muyuan burst out laughing loudly, everyone knew that this last sentence was a joke.

  Geng Jin nodded and said: "Director Zhong, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Mr. Conrad!"

  On the wine table, the personnel of Leka Company and Patriot Company started fighting each other. Shi Lei and three others watched the excitement!

  A meal that lasted nearly three hours, 52 degrees of Wuliangye, and four whole bottles were drunk! Calculated, Zhong Muyuan, William, Konrad, and that young man named Geng Jin each drank a bottle!

  Looking at William and Zhong Muyuan with drunken eyes, Shi Lei slightly shook his head, drinking is a mistake!

  "William, it seems our negotiation will have to drag on until tomorrow!"

  Zhong Mu-yuan was seven or eight parts drunk, but still had a thread of sobriety and said: "Shi Kei younger brother... no need... tomorrow, today we... continue to talk! It's not easy... to get the Lai Ka company guys drunk, we... can't let them take the lead!"

  William was only 70-80% drunk and after hearing Zhong Mu-yuan's words, William coldly snorted: "Mr. Zhong, you people are being a bit too sinister!"

  Zhong Mu-yuan looked at William and burst out laughing: "What's called... cunning, business is like a battlefield, no one is tired of deceit! Mr. Ludwig, your Xia country culture... hasn't been learned thoroughly yet! Old Xiao, wait a moment... you are fully in charge of the negotiations with Shi Lei!"

  Lao Xiao is an old man who looks over fifty years old and he is also a technician of Aiguo Company.

  "Don't worry, President Zhong. I will definitely reach a consensus with Mr. Shi Lei and facilitate our cooperation!" Old Xiao said calmly.

  Zhong Mu-yuan let out a belch, "Alright! Then I...can rest assured!"

  William gazed coldly at Zhong Muyuan, silently cursing this cunning man from Xia country. "Shi Lei, our company, Leika, agrees to your price. Let's sign the contract!"

  Zhong Mu Yuan's eyes suddenly opened wide, his big eyes staring fixedly at William, "You...hmm!"

  Shi Ke smiled and said, "No problem, William, let's sign the contract! However, our smile detection program will not be sold exclusively. In other words, after selling it to you, we may still sell it to Patriot Company!"

  William shook his head vigorously, "This... Shi Lei, this condition, we can't accept! Our company, Leika, needs exclusive purchasing rights. Once you sell to us, you cannot sell to any other companies!"

  "No way!" Shi Ke refused without hesitation, "If we sell the exclusive rights to your Leka company, isn't that equivalent to you buying out our patent rights?"

  William's intoxication slightly sobered up, "Shi Ke, if it wasn't for the exclusive buyout rights, our bottom line can only be $500,000!"

  Shi Ke looked at Mu Shuang, and Mu Shuang nodded slightly. This price had already reached Shi Ke's bottom line, and it wasn't even an exclusive sale, they could still sell to Aigo, Kodak, Canon and others!

  "Alright! No problem!" Shi Ke nodded in agreement.

  At this time, Zhong Mu-yuan's intoxication also sobered up a bit, and he hastily said: "Shi Ke old brother, where are our patriots? You can't forget about our Patriotic Company!"

  Shi Ke crooked his head and said, "Zhong brother, you talk with Mu Shuang, she is the plenipotentiary representative of my side!"

  Mu Shuang hummed softly in front of Shi Ke, saying that she was the plenipotentiary representative, wasn't Shi Ke repeatedly intervening in the price issue?

  "Mr. Zhong, if your Patriot Company also wants to purchase the smile detection program, our price is two million US dollars!" Mu Shuang shouted with a wide open mouth.

  "Ms. Mu, I just heard that Leka Corporation only spent $500,000? Why does our company, Aiguo, need to spend $2 million? Is it because we're not as well-known as Leka Corporation or is it because they're a foreign-funded enterprise from Yizhi Country?"

  Mu Shuang shook her head, "Neither!"

  "Can't have our own people bullying each other, can we?"
